Heart's Content National Scenic Area

SKIING/HIKING THE AREA - Watch the informational signs...this trail area offers challenges to the beginning skier--the more experienced skier will find these trails offer an easy afternoon. All three loops are rated as suitable for beginners. The Wheeler Loop offers an easy tour through the historic pine stands surrounding the Hearts Content Campground. Inhale the aromas. Tom's Run Loop offers a gradual rise in elevation as it climbs the plateau along Tom's Run. At the headwaters of Tom's Run, the trail crosses the plateau and joins with the Ironwood Loop. This loop offers another opportunity for beginning skiers to experience the Hearts Content Cross-Country Ski Area, park at Dunham Siding on the Hearts Content Road instead of parking at Hearts Content Recreation Area. The Ironwood Loop receives less use than the other two trails and for that reason offers a little more solitude.
